When you say the 2nd still loads and functions OK, do you mean that you've still got a menu entry for the 2nd? Because that's what the script-fu-register and script-fu-menu-register do. Without them your script is still functional and could be called manually in the script-fu console, you just don't get the menu entry.

If you do mean that you've still got a menu entry, then you've either not removed the script-fu-register or you've got a duplicate with the same name.

While there is nothing about what you did that would cause problems with your scripts for the present, it does introduce the potential for confusion in the future. For example, if the original highlights script gets updated and yours does not (or if the user fails to upgrade to your updated script) then it is indeterminate which version will be loaded.

If this script is going to be around for a while, you can save yourself some grief down the road by, at least, changing the name of the copied highlights procedure in your .scm file so there is no conflict with the original.

Better still would be to extract from the original highlights script just the functionality that you need. Over three quarters of most scripts are just boilerplate configuration, information gathering, and sanity checks; and you may find -- after you've removed all that extra code -- that you only need a few lines of code to accomplish what you need. (This is also good way to improve your scripting skills, by rewriting code that was written by others.)
